In January we will be introducing the new Guitar Mode tournament. Here are some key facts about the new tournament:

1. 12 player minimum to launch.2. Level 6 minimum requirement.3. 1st place winner will receive the medal which will give them a x2 EXP and x2 Beat bonus for 24 hours.4. Tournament will utilize a 7 round format. 5. Each round will progressively be a harder music difficulty. 6. Lowest 10% of each round will be eliminated.7. Round 7 will consist of the highest 6 scoring players.

Along with the guitar tournament, we will also be introducing two new ranking systems. The first system is called the Guitar Song Ranking system. As long as you have 4 players in a guitar mode room, your score will be offically recorded on that particular song. Each song will have a ranking which is sortable and able to be observed on the ranking board.

The second ranking system we will introduce is the Guitar Master Ranking system. This will be a ranking system which resets monthly as well as keeps a total tally. Each month, the top 3 ranking finishers of the Guitar Master Ranking system will receive a guitar at random as befitting his/her rank. The guitar will have unique properties such as addition beat bonus when equipped and the ability to hide your "flameout" from other players. This advantage will allow for the beholder to conceal his/her timing for flameout bonus usage during guitar mode play. The Guitar Master Ranking system will utilize the Guitar Song Ranking system for points. So if you want to be ranked highly on the master ranking, you should grab atleast 3 of your friends and play as many guitar songs as possible in a month's time!
